in ST. Paul.

There was party of prominent peO-
pie at the Ryan yesterday composed of
James w. Bennett and wife, Charles
j. Glidden and wife, Charles l. Hood
and wife, Charles E. Adams and wife,
Francis Jewett, Levi Sprague, j. w. c..
Pickering, James A. Webster and j. p.
McKinstry. They came from Lowell,
Mass, and represented the brains and
capital behind the Erie Telegraph and
Telephone company. The party spent
the afternoon in driving around the
city and will go West to-day. They are
on tour through the Northwest and
will probably visit the Pacific coast be-
fore returning.
c. A. ROBERTS.
Charles A. Roberts registered at the
Merchants yesterday. Mr.. Roberts is
one of the many men who walked into
Fargo, Oak, a few years ago pennileSs
and settled on government lands that
afterwards became valuable, and "Char-
ley is now among the heavyweight
capitalists of the Red River valley. He
is a very cautious speculator. Just
about the time the bottom fell out of
the Fargo boom he had concluded to
build a mammoth hotel. He had dug
the cellar and had part of the brick on
the ground ready for use, but the boom
ceased to boom and Charles abandoned
the scheme. The cellar and brick are
still there, but the hotel is yet to be
built.
HON. WAYNE MACvEAGH.
The tall, clear-cut figure of Hon.
Wayne MacVeagh, of Philadelphia,
was noticed i'll the r0tunda of the Ryan
yesterday. Mr.. MacVeagh is ex-attor-
y,nr h,x b.
that position by President Garfield.
He refused to express himself on the
political problem. saying he had come
here in company with K. A. Keyes and
wife. Of Philadelphia, to attend the
wedding of his son, Wayne, Jr., to Miss
Hammond. which occurs this afternoon
at the residence of the brides parents.
Mr.. MacVeagh is genial gentleman
and fluent talker and it occurred to
the GLOBE reporter that he might rattle
off some very entertaining matters po-
litical if he chose, but he didn't. He
has recently returned from Europe,
where he claimed he had a very en-
joyable trip. This is his first trip to
the Northwest and he thinks the Twin
Cities are driving ahead of any two
cities i'll the United States.
HARRY DOUGLASS.
Harry F. Douglass was at the Mer-
chants yesterday. Mr.. Douglass is post
trader at Fort Yates, and he is down
here to purchase goods for his store.
He is man full of valuable informa-
ton concerning Northwestern matters,
and being an Old-timer in that part Of
the country. tells many interesting Incl
dents of early life ON the frontier. He
says if civilization creepS westward the
next five years as rapidly as it has the
past five. there will be no need of mill
tary posts in the territories. He says
those people who have the impression
that post life in the Northwest is dull
and uninteresting are greatly mistaken
He claims the jewellers at the military
posts have more fun to the square inch
than any other class Of people on earth.
He says years ago the people out in that
country looked upon Chicago as the
metropolis of the West, but now ST..
Paul was looked upon as the great city.
j. W. RAYMOND.
Hon. j. w. Raymond. treasurer of
Dakota, was in the city yesterday. Mr..
Raymond has stood in with Gov. Church
solidly enough to hold the Office to which
he was appointed by the Republican ad-
ministration, but it is given out that his
head goes into the basket Jan. l, and
| that Hon. j. d. Lawler, of Mitchell, will
succeed him. Both men are bankers,
but while Raymond is a Republican,
Lawler is staunch Democrat, and was
prominent member of the council in
last winters legislature. Mr.. Raymond
| is built on the plan of the famous Lord
Dundreary, and looks more like mem
Der of the English parliament than he
does like citizen of Dakota.
HARRY RICHARDS.
Harry Richards, with his smooth face
and pleasing airs, was at the Merchants
yesterday. Harry halls from Fargo,
where he is manager of the Office of the
Northwestern Coal and Fuel company.
AT one time Harry was the Barry Wall
of Fargo. He had more suits of clothes,
more canes, more neckties than all the
Fargo dudes in bunch, and it was a
rare day when he didn't show up on the
streets in a suit different from the one
| he wore the day before. and his clothes
were made by famous New York tailors.
| They were no hand-me-doWns.
